Abstract

There is a great demand for long-term cellular tracers because of their great importance in monitoring biological processes, pathological pathways, therapeutic effects, etc. Herein we report a new type of fluorescence "turn-on" probe for tracing live cells over a long period of time. We synthesized the fluorogenic probe by attaching a large number of tetraphenylethene (TPE) labels to a chitosan (CS) chain. The resultant TPE-CS bioconjugate shows a unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior. It is nonfluorescent when dissolved but becomes highly emissive when its molecules are aggregated. The AIE aggregates can be readily internalized by HeLa cells. The cellular staining by the TPE-CS aggregates is so indelible that it enables cell tracing for as long as 15 passages. The internalized AIE aggregates are kept inside the cellular compartments and do not contaminate other cell lines in the coculture systems, permitting the differentiation of specific cancerous cells from normal healthy cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
